the red or purple onions are usually used when you want a splash of color in a dish, such as a salad or pasta. they tend to have a slight sweetness. yellow and white onions are generally referred to as 'cooking onions' and the flavor mostly depends on how much or how little water they recieved while growing. vidalia onions are really good and really sweet, but best served raw.

Heat - the red is usually the hottest, the yellow the mildest and the white is either medium or hot, depending on the growing conditions. Vadalia onions are almost sweet and they have a yellowish color.

Reds are sweeter. Yellows and white are stronger and a lot more pungent and strong. We only use reds.
